Hey, so our friends at eatART http://www.eatart.org/ have an annual event at the Vancouver Art Gallery where they display lots of neat engineering and energy themed art installations. This year it was suggested to throw in an electric bicycle contest in the mix as well, to give people exposure to one of the neatest practical means of reducing energy consumption.
We want to feature all the different elements of the homemade ebike scene, and so have decided on 6 different contest categories: Style, Utility, Resourcefulness, Innovation, Discreteness, and Lighting. There will be a prizes worth ~$100-$200 each for the winner in each category, so if you have something or anything to show as far as a homebrew ebike goes, then please sign up now! Here is the link to the sign-up sheet:

Unfortunately, this only works for people who will be able to come over to Vancouver, with their ebikes, on June 27th. If there ARE people from out of town who would consider this part of a good excuse for a road trip here, and who might need some help with accommodation etc., then feel free to PM me.
